MAIN STORY

The series premiered in 1913. Stopped officially in 1923 but Storm P. sporadically continued the strip until his death.

The series consists of 4 panels, in which a trio of nameless, identical males wearing top hats perform mischievous deeds. The males have often been recognized as the forerunners to the Disney duck nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Nummermanden has a separate role in the strips; his primary task is to number the panels - and he is doing it in all imaginable ways - but he sometimes takes an active part in the goings on as well.

The Danish title De 3 Små Mænd og Nummermanden translates to The 3 Small Men and the Numberman.
